2015 Hyundai Sonata: complete transmission failure

Filed Sep 6, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · TX

My transmission literally went out once on me the SECOND DAY after I financed it. Now, less than a year later, it says I need to replace the transmission again. This is ridiculous.

I purchased new '15 sonata, my 8th one, but I have not nothing but problems with it. This dealership did all maintenance & repairs & had car a total of 7 times for the same complaint of the car 'bucking,' like it is hard to shift into the next gear.I was told it was a computer part & it had been replaced, yet the problem continued, other times I was told there nothing could be detected as wrong. My 7th trip, the dealership kept it for 6-7 weeks when they determined the transmission clutch was defective, then they 'lost' the new transmission, before finally fixed it. I drive 100 miles daily to & from work am fearful that something would be wrong. I was almost rear ended by a far away 18 wheeler when the car would not forward. I reported all of this to the dealership. I requested to speak with general manager at least 3 times & was always told he was out, the last time I saw him leave after saying he was not there. So, after the transmission was 'fixed' in february. I called corporate & was told this is the way this vehicle drives as it has a semi-automatic transmission. I am driving a rental with same engine & does not behave like my mine. Within a few days, the car began stalling when trying to excel and the 'check engine light' came on. On the interstate, we slowed down and again it would not go forward. I brought it to another dealership & it has been in the shop for two weeks (march 25th) & they cannot figure out the problem. Corporate offered me $500.00 in 'free' service due to it the problems. I do not think that is compensation. Corp has agreed to buy car back approx. 2-3 wks ago due to continued problems. I was told the entire process would take 6-8 weeks. I have emailed/called since it is in the shop to expedite the process without response.
